It doesn't make sense to have an 2.4 or 2.5 install for Snow Leopard (10.6).

Leopard definitely needs a 2.5 install.  A 2.6 install would be nice,
but not essential.

My main point was that the version of 'bazaar' is not consistent.
There should be a 2.0.1, 2.0.2, and now 2.0.3 release for all OS X versions.

So when someone releases a version for OS X, they (or the other OS X
release managers) should build for all OS X versions, so that there is
not this divergence.

If it can't be automatically built for any reason, then some kind of
formal/semi-formal process is required when OS X releases are
instigated, so that all OS X platforms get the latest bazaar :)

Cheers, Brendan.
